Abstract Profound metabolic changes are characteristic of macrophages during classical activation and have been implicated in this phenotype. Here we demonstrate that nitric oxide (NO) produced by murine is responsible for TCA cycle alterations citrate accumulation associated with polarization. 13 C tracing mitochondrial respiration experiments map NO-mediated suppression metabolism to aconitase (ACO2). Moreover, find inflammatory reroute pyruvate away from dehydrogenase (PDH) an...
Glutamine-synthetase (GS), the glutamine-synthesizing enzyme from glutamate, controls important events, including release of inflammatory mediators, mammalian target rapamycin (mTOR) activation, and autophagy. However, its role in macrophages remains elusive. We report that pharmacologic inhibition GS skews M2-polarized toward M1-like phenotype, characterized by reduced intracellular glutamine increased succinate with enhanced glucose flux through glycolysis, which could be partly related to...
Highlights•A metabolic shift defines NSPC quiescence versus proliferation•Quiescent NSPCs require high levels of FAO•Changing a single metabolite is sufficient to induce proliferationSummaryHippocampal neurogenesis important for certain forms cognition, and failing has been implicated in neuropsychiatric diseases. The neurogenic capacity hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) depends on balance between quiescent proliferative states. Here, we show that the rate fatty acid oxidation...
